Ring of Swords
by Eleanor Arnason
"The usual assumption," Ursula K. Le Guin notes in her new
introduction to the novel, "is that if you threaten a war early in a
novel, you’d better hurry up and get the bombs bursting in air. And
they usually do. Novels that portray war as totally destructive and
futile still focus on it—war is what they're about, war is central to
them, just as it was central to the old epics that glorified heroes
and battles. But a war not fought? What kind of subject is that?" Le Guin asks. Her answer? "It’s a beautiful subject for a novel, and Ring of Swords is a beautiful novel."

Helen's Story
by Rosanne Rabinowitz
Contrary to rumors of her death, Helen Vaughan is alive and well and
living in Shoreditch, East London, stirring up the art world with a
series of erotically-charged landscapes depicting the strange events
of her youth. Brought up by a man who regarded her as loathsome,
shuffled between boarding schools and foster homes, young Helen only
found pleasure in visits from a secret companion. She made one other
close friend, a girl called Rachel who disappeared in full
daylight. After that, Helen was left with her companion. As she
remembers her friend, Helen lays on each stroke of paint as if it can
bring Rachel back or take her to where Rachel went. She paints to
summon her companion once again, and show everyone what really lurks
beyond the vanishing point...

In Search of Lost Time
by Karen Heuler
After beginning chemo for a rare cancer, Hildy discovers an
extraordinary talent—the ability to see and take other people's
time. She also discovers there’s an underground market for quality
time. After all, who has enough time? The dying, especially, want to
get more of it, but giving it to them means taking it from someone
else. How moral is she? How will she juggle the black marketers'
strong-arm tactics and her own quandaries about stealing something so
precious and vital that it can never be replaced?

Cosmovore
by Kristi Carter
In this narrative collection of poems, the voice of the void reels and
keens over meditations on consumption, the body, and the world. From
the edges of the Milky Way to the confines of an eggshell, nowhere is
safe from her hunger. In the tinny echoes of a much-hated musical
triangle, explore the questions she faces about womanhood, motherhood,
society, and a goat as she tries to reconcile those around her with
her own identity.

Liberating the Astronauts
by Christina M. Rau
From the Pointer Sisters doing the Neutron Dance to David Bowman’s
exclamation while traveling through the star gate near Jupiter; from
stealing Joan Didion’s sadness to erasing F. Scott Fitzgerald’s
Gatsby, this collection weaves its way through the awkward paradox of
wanting freedom while fearing it. A little science, a bit of sci-fi, a
little feminism, a bit of lit, in Liberating the Astronauts, we see
that not fitting in gives us the freedom to stand out.
